City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

04/13/2021

BACKGROUND

In an effort to minimize downtime and the inherent dangers involved with traffic signal outages, Public Works determined it would benefit the City of Schertz to engage in an On-Call Signal Repair contract. The City of Schertz requested bids for qualified On-Call Traffic Light Repair and Maintenance. The bid was posted to the City of Schertz website, PublicPurchase.com, and a notice was published in the newspaper. A total of two responses were received and evaluated. Upon completion of the review and evaluation of both submittals, based on pricing and availability, the recommendation is to move forward with Saeco Electric Company.

GOAL

The goal of Resolution 21-R-32 is to authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Saeco Electric Company for all on-call traffic light repair and maintenance services.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT

The City will be able to utilize this company to repair/replace/maintenance on the traffic lighting on Schertz Parkway, or any other area in the city, that require a traffic technician and bucket truck without seeking bids. This will result in an effective and efficient operational process and improve community safety as the lights can be repaired quickly.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends the City Council approve Resolution 21-R-32, granting authorizing and approval of a contract agreement with Saeco Electric Company for on-call traffic lighting repair/maintenance.

FISCAL IMPACT

Fiscal impact will vary with each project depending on materials needed and/or whether the project is a repair or a replacement. It is anticipated that the City will not exceed $50,000 with this vendor for any one repair. Funds are identified and available in the current budget for repairs and preventive maintenance.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends approval of Resolution 21-R-32
